Good. I was only being half serious. I would have picked SB to win but Rachel is a serious racehorse. She'd really be my pick in the Derby if she were going.

So if I deduced this all correctly... you would pick RA to win the Derby, but you think SB is better than RA, which would mean you STILL would like SB to win the Derby?

i think he means that since he picked SB way back when, he doesn't want to come off her now. but stubborn hardheadedness isn't keeping him from admitting that deep down he knows rachel is the better horse. right king??

Yeah it's definately a career ending injury..We won't know it officially for a few weeks but clearly she is thru!!!

Kinda sorta. It's not even that deep down. Rachel scares the hell out of me. I would have picked SB and been hoping that something would have kept Rachel from running her race and then I could have come on here looking like a genius saying "see, I told you so." Honestly though, I'm just not that as impressed with the boys as everyone else is and I do think that those two girls are better.

i'm very impressed with rachel alexandra. as for stardom bound, i've never seen whatever it is that you saw in her. i thought she was a horse who was good at the right time, namely earlier than the rest of the fillies.
i'll be surprised if SB ever runs again..if she runs again, i'll be surprised if she wins.
